There is no documentation of "windows" key :Application.SendKeys method (Excel)

So, I tried "Ctrl+Esc" for windows key : Application.SendKeys ("^({ESC}{LEFT})") but it didn't work.
Is there a way to send windows key using API, dll etc without using external programs like AutoIt.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
I tried that in the immediate window - worked for me. If you have code containing that line, maybe it's not being executed for some reason.

Application.SendKeys ("^{ESC}") only works for "windows" key-To bring start menu , but will it work for window shortcut combinations like "Windows+D"-Minimize All ,"Windows+UP"-Maximize window, "Windows+LEFT"-Stack window on left etc
